Abstract The aim of this work is a quantitative description of the various components of quality of life (QOL) in patients with paranoid schizophrenia (PS) and assessment of their integrated use to improve the reliability of the diagnosis of this disease. Using methods for the assessment of QOL by Mezzich et al and brief selfreport psychometric questionnaire of severity of psychopathological symptoms Derogatis (SCL-90-R) 107 male patients with PH's and 70 healthy men of comparable age were examined (36.45 ± 0.91 years and a 36.53 ± 1.74 years accordingly). It was found that QOL in patients with PS in general was signifi cantly lower in comparison with practically healthy persons; the most informative and reliable markers of the presen ce of paranoid schizophrenia are relatively low values of self-realization (5 points or less); socio- emotional support (5 points or less); and perceived quality of life in general. It was shown that features of quality of life (assessed with method by Mezzich) at their complex use as a part of the sequential procedure by Wald (in the modification of E. V. Gubler) as indirect signs — markers of PS, can serve as an additional means of improving the reliability of diag nosis of this psychopathology type.
Key words paranoid schizophrenia, diagnosis, indirect signs, quality of life
